The aim of this study is to highlight the influence of fasting on the variations of physical and anthropometric parameters among young female students of Jeddah University.Twenty-four female students with ages ranging from 20 to 26 years consented to take part in our study.They were tested on 2 occasions: before and, during, the month of fasting.To this end, we took anthropometric measurements, and an exercise test.The analysis and interpretation of the results showed no significant change in the anthropometric parameters despite the variations observed during the month of fasting (P > 0.05).However, we could mention significant decreases in physical parameters (P < 0.05).Fasting appears to negatively affect aerobic performance.
